Why we built Ash: a founder's note from Daniel Cahn

Slingshot AI co-founder and CEO Daniel Cahn introduces Ash — the first AI designed for therapy — and the personal conviction behind it: that support shouldn't require a diagnosis, a label, or a fortune.

• Ash is the first AI built specifically for therapy, launched with $93M in funding from mission-driven investors.
• The founding belief: no one should need a label or a fortune to be worthy of mental health support.
• Ash isn't ChatGPT — it's designed to challenge you and help you see problems in new ways, not to flatter or befriend.
